Planet of the Humans (2019)
Why No Discussion Of Nuclear Power
The biggest flaw in this film was excluding a discussion of the obvious solution to the problem...Nuclear power. The gen 3 reactors currently in operation are far safer than their earlier predecessors, and future gen 4 reactors should be capable of operating without generating radioactive waste and with zero melt down risk. Gen 4 reactors are projected to be commercial viable as early as 2030. Conversely, the film did an excellent job of demonstrating the folly and impracticality of "green technologies" such as solar and wind.
Manhattan Romance (2014)
Wow...
What a thoroughly enjoyable film Mr. O'Brien has created for those of us that love this genre. I have to laugh at the low IMDb score since, as romantic comedic dramas go, this is just about as good as it gets. Mr. O'Brien's talents as a writer/actor/director are off the charts, as was the performance by Ms. Waterston, who crafted a genuine and spellbinding character that pulls you in and holds your attention. I expect huge things in the future from these two talented performers and can't wait to watch their careers develop. My Wife and I have yet to see Fairhaven, but it is now next up in our cue and expectations are high. If you are a hopeless romantic that enjoys witty, heartfelt dialogue delivered by wonderfully crafted characters, you will love this film. I give it 9 out of 10!
The Hateful Eight (2015)
Oooff...This was a train wreck...
Well, I won't say this is the worst movie I have ever watched, but it comes awfully close...Close enough, in fact, to garner a single star. Pulp Fiction and the two Kill Bills were highly entertaining with ingenious dialogue. Contrast those films with this one, and one is left to wonder if QT just mailed this one in.
The pace of the story telling was like watching paint dry on a hot humid day...Only worse. This would be a forgivable sin only if the characters were properly fleshed out and the dialogue was taught. Regrettably, this was not the case. Instead we are treated to misogynistic outbursts, illogical plot twists, and gratuitous violence.
SPOILER: The only way this film could have been worse is if ALL the characters had been killed off...Wait!?
